    People who give it less than a 5 HAVE NO IDEA, do it for two reasons, one; you don't know about Call of Duty or two; that you do it to take away the note. At first it was a game without content but today it has twice as much content as many more famous games, it is quite fun although it is a little behind for the current era.

    "Call of Duty: WW II" is a solid, but not superb shooter. After the release of "Battlefield 1", it feels like a slight let down due to its reliance on well-worn FPS tropes.

While I appreciate the return to the series' roots, the WW II setting has been a bit played out. Developer Sledgehammer Games has done an admirable job with the campaign and multiplayer, but none of it stands out from what's been done before. The same goes for the new Zombies mode; it's enjoyable, but too similar to past versions.

    Ultimately, a lack of innovation is the reason "Call of Duty: WW II" doesn't rank up with the best COD titles. Yes, there are now soldier classes in multiplayer, but aside from "War", there are no new competitive modes to speak of. The maps are also a bit lacking in creative design. Regardless, fans of "World at War" and "Call of Duty 2" should enjoy the game despite its inferiority. I personally think it's a big step up from "Infinite Warfare". It's fast, fluid and enjoyable, although it's not the best. I'd give it an 8 out of 10

    I can't comment on the multiplayer, but the single-player campaign is among the most generic paint-by-numbers FPS gameplay I've ever encountered. Cinematic, and graphically pleasing? Yes, and also completely soul-less and devoid of any real emotion, as if it was created by Hollywood committee.

    The game does an admirable job of making you feel like you're a part of a war with many combatants on screen, but it is undermined by the sloppy frustrating combat. You don't know who is firing at you half the time. The last mission is one of the most terribly designed levels I've ever encountered, with rockets fired at you that you can't dodge, and so much smoke everywhere that you can't see the enemy. They've also brought back the egregious use of quick-time events, and added what are essentially terrible escort missions in the way of dragging wounded soldiers to safety. This is not what the genre was missing, and feels like a step backwards.

Single player is also a mixed bag. It's a basic story about Americans fighting Nazis, which has been done a million times. The characters for the most part are quite good, and the last 2 or so missions really nail the emotion in the story. Unfortunately, the campaign's message is that it is okay to disobey your orders when you have to save a life. Personally I do not agree with this, as in my experience, putting yourself in danger to try and help someone is generally a bad idea, especially when it's against an order. Regardless, this game is alright for the most part. Expand

    This game was mostly a disappointment. I honer attempting to bring back the WWII theme, but I think this was a major step down compared to the original ones (COD 1-3 and World at War.) The campaign felt empty since there was no Soviet side to really close the book when it comes to the war. Think the previous titles (especially World at War) did a far better job at doing this.

    This game is probably the worst Call of Duty that I've played in every sense of the word. It was a shame I got suckered into this for $120 as a pre-release, thinking it might have some redeemable quality, but compared to most other Call of Duties, it does not. I'll be going into the 3 main components of the game, and I've played this for 130 hours to 100% the game.

I'll be going into the 3 main components of the game, and I've played this for 130 hours to 100% the game.

    Campaign: Now there are some good things here. The cutscenes are fantastic, the health packs are a nice way to change up the COD formula, and it has some touching moments. However, that doesn't even come close to making it worth to play. Veteran is a challenge because of the context, and it isn't unfair in most areas. However it feels exactly like Halo, where you're a one man army mowing down enemies, while your crew doesn't do much unless you tell them to push or give you an item. The collectibles are laughable, the characters don't really feel like much and give little to no motivation for us to move on. The conflict is USA vs Germany. No other countries, when the game is based on the LARGEST WAR THE WORLD HAS SEEN with THE MOST COUNTRIES. The game also doesn't have the ability to use certain elements that were in WW2. But besides the point, the campaign is on of the reasons I played Call of Duty, and this one is very underwhelming to say the least.

    Multiplayer: It's one of the most boring multiplayer experiences in COD history. Barely any guns on launch, can't get more without coughing up money it seems, and the lootboxes make the game even worse. The social space has no reason to exist, though I do like some of the things it did, like testing out killstreaks, guns, and 1v1'ing friends. Other than that, any other COD will give you a better experience and more worth for your money.

    Zombies: I enjoyed every other game's zombies to some degree (excluding Advanced Warfare), but this one is the worst of all of them so far. The maps are so dark for no apparent reason in the beginning, the boss zombies are just the worst in the franchise's history, and the Easter Eggs are grindy and non-sensical for the most part. The gun play is garbage and every weapon feels terrible. It's boring, not fun, uninspired, not worth it for any zombies player.

    In conclusion: This game is worth $5-$10 at most. The amount of effort that went into this game is appalling, and the priorities of the development team are clearly towards money rather than a good game. A disappointment for everyone who played or bought the game.

    I barely touched WW2 because it was so bad. It's easily my most hated CoD of all time and I genuinely have a hard time thinking of anything positive to say about it. Bad maps, bad gameplay, bad almost everything. I am aware it received a lot of improvements after I quit though so it may be worth trying now.

    This is honestly one of my favorite CoD games, right up there with MW2. Is it perfect? No, but I really think it's a lot better than most CoD games from the past 5 - 6 years. Why? Cause it is legit just fun to play. A nice balance between being competitive and bring casual. It doesn't take itself too seriously, which I think is great.

    It's... bad. There's no other way around it. This game is bad. The lootboxes, poor customization, weak singleplayer story, horrid multiplayer maps, and a bare bones zombie mode make this possibly the worst Call of Duty so far (although I still haven't played BO4). This is the game that made me swear an oath to never pre-order a game.

The tank section has you take so many hits from shells that should go right through your tank its not even funny. The plane section is just boring. The campaign also only follows ONE PERSON. On ONE SIDE, fighting ONE ENEMY. This is World War II. A war that took place on all fronts of the globe. So why only have us play the Americans vs German side. There is also no variety (you just shoot Germans). The "stealth" sections are small and barely cut into the game play. The campaign is also very generic (American kid goes to war, makes buddies, makes enemies with A-hole sergeant, and learns his wife is pregnant). Like seriously, how generic can you get. Now let me talk MP. Match making is as slow as the US communications during the actual war. the guns sound like they were all made in a knockoff warehouse rather than a German or american factory. They sound so bad that it doesn't even sound like warfare, more like an Airsoft fight. The multiplayer just has you run around 3 lane maps with no cover or any style (honestly all the maps feel the same). And yes, I like Gustav cannon as it is a WWII map that makes sense. Battles weren't fought in 3 lane areas, it was fought over massive plots of land or large strategic points. I'm not even going to touch loot boxes but they're there, as well as Zombies, as I don't ply too much of it. Bottom line is that if you want a good WWII game, don't buy this garbage. Campaign wise, World at War or even COD 2 is far superior. This was $60 down the drain. Expand

    After playing multiplayer games and spending hours upon hours on them every day I've come to a realization as I've gotten older and more mature as a gamer that playing multiplayer, although fun, doesn't have a sense of accomplishment and really won't get you anywhere.

Don't get me wrong, I still like multiplayerAfter playing multiplayer games and spending hours upon hours on them every day I've come to a realization as I've gotten older and more mature as a gamer that playing multiplayer, although fun, doesn't have a sense of accomplishment and really won't get you anywhere. Multiplayer is a never ending cycle of match after match of killing and dying. Don't get me wrong, I still like multiplayer and even play them from time to time. But as I've gotten older and work and other responsibilities have entered my life I can no longer spend hours on hours on a game that doesn't give me anything back besides a kill death ratio or games won and lost or any other myriad of other things on your stat screen. So now I play games for their story, their campaign. Something I can take away and remember and linger in my thoughts for months or even years. I only play Call of duty now for their campaigns. I dabble in the multiplayer from time to time but that is not what I'm reviewing since that is not what I value the most. This has got to be one of the best cod campaigns ever. The story, although could have been directed better, it's core was really well written. The story hits home for me and I appreciate stories of heroism and valor. Heroes who sacrifice themselves for the betterment of others. Graphically, this game looks great. Captures the atmosphere, the grit and grime of the violence of the most deadliest conflict in human history. The resolution could be higher and the HDR could be better but all in all it looks phenomenal. Especially considering that it runs at 60 or a very close 60 is remarkable. This is one of my favorite COD campaigns ever. One of my top 3 for sure. Expand

Multiplayer is riddled with microtransaction/loot box garbage and overall isn't a very solid experience even to play. The campaign does have a few really cool moments, and the technical aspects of the game are quite impressive, but overall this game is an misguided mess.

    Voici l'Appel du Devoir numéro 425621556 dont le sujet se déroule cette fois pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale... comme un certain Appel du Devoir 2 il y a des lunes et des lunes ! quelle originalité, les bras nous en tombent et nous en restons bouche bée.

    C'est reparti donc comme en 40 ou 44 plutôt pour sauver le monde libre mais occupé et comme jadis, c'est la foire aux scripts dans ce jeu-couloir certes spectaculaire mais rapidement aussi ennuyeux qu'un discours à l'Assemblée. En vérité, on s'ennuie si vite qu'on envoit des SMS et qu'on lâche des "kikoos" sur les réseaux sochiasses.

    Aux scripts innombrables viennent se greffer des saloperies de QTE et si la vie ne remonte plus toute seule (incroyable...) si on peut utiliser des trousses de soin, le jeu reste fidèle à lui-même, entièrement suspendu à votre bon vouloir, car la guerre c'est vous qui allez la gagner et personne d'autre : tant que vous ne percutez pas le script qui déclenche l'évènement suivant, les ennemis et vos copains se mettent sur la gueule et ressuscitent en masse ad vitam eternam comme des **** bots coincés dans une boucle. C'est assez risible à voir !

    On reste en tout cas souvent à l'étroit dans ces niveaux et la jouabilité n'a pas évolué d'un iota pour sa part : épaulez, visez et visez surtout la tête parce que sinon il en faudra des bastos pour les zigouiller ces andouilles ! De toute façon, on a jamais l'impression de vraiment jouer mais d'être coincé dans un caddy de supermarché lancé à grande vitesse avec des dialogues écrits par la ménagère de moins de 50 ans.

    Même le bilan technique qui devrait être bon, voire très bon, ne l'est pas totalement... En effet, si on a la 4K à 60 im/s (sur la X), toutes les cinématiques semblent soit à 30, soit victimes de sévères ralentissements... Le jeu reste terne (à tous les égards d'ailleurs) et depuis cet abruti de Soldat Ryan, toutes les oeuvres "modernes" sur la WWII veulent nous faire croire que les vaillants soldats étaient daltoniens.

    Enfin, je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce retour sur la WWII qui commence à sentir le réchauffé... remarquez, parler de "réchauffé" à propos d'un Call of est un pléonasme doublé d'une lapalissade. On dit que la guerre est terrible et c'est vrai : terriblement ennuyeuse et percluse de rhumatismes comme ce Call of qui n'en peut plus : achevez-le et enterrez-le dans le désert, qu'on en parle plus !

    Esta review la hago en Español, ya que pocos hacen reviews en Español, bueno este juego, es lo que esperabamos, otro año más de copy & paste de el estilo "boots on the ground", dividiré esta review en 3 partes, Campaña, Multijugador y Zombies:

    Campaña: La campaña es bastanta agridulce, en que sentido digo esto, hay misiones donde de verdad me quito el sombrero y en otras que dices, esto es un reciclado más de los mismo y de verdad que cada año, las campañas no nos sorprenden en nada, está molona, ya que tiene esas secuencias hollywoodenses que a todos nos gustan con grandes explosiones y bueno un conjunto de personajes que coinciden en un pelotón y bueno, simboliza lo que es la hermandad en la segunda guerra mundial, buenos momentos de risas entre los personajes y poco más, podríamos decir que es una campaña muy "casual"

    Multijugador: Bueno todos sabemos que ahora mismo, Call Of Duty está enfocado en el multijugador, en mi experiencia con el nuevo MP tengo que decir que tambien da un sabor agridulce, primero toquemos el tema de que no hay "ventajas", los combat trainings son los sustitos de estas ventajas y he de decir que para mi gusto, el 80% de estos no sirven para nada la verdad, despues las divisiones, con las divisiones noté que bueno, dan progresión y algo de vida, con los prestigios y además con los regalitos, que no pasan de ser algo comético y alguna arma que otra, de estas variantes que realmente, no te sientes al 100% satisfecho de hacer prestigio en la división, las armas es algo que me dicen siempre como será un MP y la verdad que no llego a entender como no pueden hacer un CoD equilibrado, ejemplo, Tienes un PPSH-1 y bueno esa mata genial, te la pasas bien, pero despues tienes a un fanático de las LMG's y te saca la Bren, esta Bren mata de dos tiros, literal, entonces pierdes esa fantasía de que estás literal "reventando" al otro equipo porque un señor tiene su arma que mata de dos tiros, y bueno, tambien queria matizar el punto que para mi a hecho mucho daño a este modo juego, 1. Los Mapas, nunca visto anteriormente que de lanzamiento nos lanzasen solamente 7 mapas MP, esto realmente es algo increíble y que de verdad la monotonía te pega duro despues de 100 partidas, y lo segundo, los Supply Drops, esto es la peor, pero la peor de todas las anteriores, está bien que puedas pagar por cosas cosméticas, pero es que el 99.9% de las veces te salen animaciones que están repetidas e incluso mangos para las armas secundarias que dices, Woao, está chulo, pero mira, como es un mango ni se ve, porque claro, ¿De donde agarra el soldado el arma?... ya os lo dejo claro con esa pregunta, este multijugador, está decente para pasar una buena tarde para jugar con colegas, pero para viciar y hecharle horas, no aguantais.

    3. Zombies
    Este para mi es el mejor modo de los 3 mecionados, realmente me quito el sombrero por SHG, porque de verdad, yo sé que llegar a los estandartes de los Zombies de 3arc es dificil y eso lo admiro mucho, pero creo que han hecho una buena historia que de momento, está siendo bastante entretenida para mi persona, algo que por lo menos los Zombies de Bo3 no consiguieron, el tema este de que te ayuden a hacer los Easter Eggs, se que en los siguentes DLC no ayudan pero fué algo que me dió como cosilla al principio pensar que te iban a ayudar, pero os lo digo, darle una oportunidad a estos zombies, no son tan malo, bueno y poco más, ya sabeis como funciona las mecánicas de zombies.

    Conclusión: Es un juego realmente decente pero no supera y ni siquiera llega a lo que estamos acostumbrados los jugadores vetaranos del pasado, espero que esta review sea de agrado a la comunidad hispana, un Saludo NOTA: 5/10

    The Campaign Mode was okay... Nazi Zombies is fun with friends.

    The Multiplayer? I'm never buying another Call of Duty title every again. Not unless they actually bring about dedicated servers. Every single matching having one to two players that are moving 1.5x faster than everyone else, just mopping up kills is no fun. I'd recommend buying this this game up when it's $20 or less,

    Beautiful campaign story with great character development. Multiplayer maps are okay, but the spawns are horrible with the bring back of supply’s drops lowering the score. I feel that this game is the same old futuristic call of duty only with a reskin of “WW2” the gun audio is horrible, but the only reason why I gave it a decent score is because of the campaign.

    Not a terrible game, far better than their last couple of installments. The maps are a mess though. Though visually stunning, they are so clustered and small that it's not entirely fun. No real sniping alleys/lanes. The DLC's are junk and they removed 1 map to add a War mode specific map which I won't play because I do not like that mode.

The guns are alright but you start with bad guns and have Tom work your way up to the best guns for each class. By the time you get to that, it's time to prestige and everything's gets locked so you get to use them for a whole 2 levels and then you have to do it all again or use an permanent unlock token to get it. The score streaks are pretty lame except the carpet bombing yet it will kill you At least 2 out of the 3 passes it make sure (luckily not your teammates though. Paratroops, though great to have are pretty useless as once the year are called in, all the enemy has to do is shoot their parachutes enough times and they drop to their death. My teams have literally eliminated all 4 paratroopers as they come down. You don't get to customize as much as you could in Ghosts which is not fun either. Overall, when playing with friends, it's above average and fun for a bit. After a few months though, everyone has moved on to rocket league, overwatch or fortnite and no one plays it any more. Expand

    Balance is far and away the worst in the series
    DLC weapons are way too common (close to as many or more than Infinite Warfare during that game's entire cycle, and this game is 6 months in as of me posting this).
    You will unload on people and have them take 0 hits, multiple times a match
    You will be shot around corners
    The division system is complete trash when compared to Pic 10 and the classic system
    Maps are mostly bland, boring, samey, and generally terrible
    Spawns are laughable

    Yeah, I will under zero circumstances recommend this game to anybody. If you want a frustrating and overall crap experience, this is the game for you, even then, Ghosts will only cost you $15 so go for the miserable experience that actually works, not this pile of literal garbage.

WWII is a COD game, to say the least, and has everything you could expect from the series at this point. The Online Multiplayer is fine, even though the map design is, frankly, utter garbage. Each map feels uninspired and lazy in its design, and, my God, the Three-Lane-Structure is just the worst. The Campaign is pretty enjoyable, surprisingly - the relationships between the characters throughout the 7-8 hour ordeal is reminiscent of Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, and the story borrows heavily from the two properties as well. Headquarters is a welcome yet heavily flawed addition to the franchise, but it manages to offer some interesting activities to complete away from the chaos of the Multiplayer. Call of Duty WWII is a decent game, but does not live up to its expectations as a game that spent, supposedly, three whole years in development. Expand

    As someone that hadn't really been that into COD since they switched away from boots on the ground gameplay, I was excited to hear that Sledgehammer Games was going away from the jetpacking ways of recent COD titles.

    Generally speaking, the game is pretty average to below average. While there is a decent selection of weapons, and more have come out as the game has matured, the balancing is still off, most notably with the shotguns. Maps on the other hand are severely lacking. At release, there were only nine maps, and most of them were pretty terrible. New DLC was released that addressed this issue a bit, with the inclusion of a few new maps. While this does help the issue a bit, I surely don't think players should have to pay $15 just to play on a couple of decent maps.

    A couple things that I have enjoyed thus far have been the inclusion of the War game mode, the Headquarters, and the supply drop system, specifically the many ways that they can be earned through gameplay. The War game mode has provided a different style of game where players don't have to worry about kills and deaths so much, which allows for a better objective based mode. I think that is a great addition to a game where normal objective based matches are played more like a team deathmatch than they are a true objective mode. Further, I think the inclusion of the Headquarters has been nice, as it is just something different to play around with between games. Finally, I am very impressed with the way that contracts and challenges work in regards to earning supply drops daily, which allows players to earn new weapons and uniforms for their characters just by completing a handful of easy objectives each day.

    Overall, the game does play pretty well, but it has too many issues to be considered a classic COD title.

    Bottom line: it's just a bad game.

    I got sick of call of duty after MW2. I grew up with the franchise and had been playing since COD 2. I've been playing mostly Battlefield since 2013, but when I heard COD was ditching the futuristic and was heading back to WW2 I was interested. But it really is just more of the same with a WW2 skin.

I thought modern warfare 2 was too fast, but this is ridiculous. The game feels like a round of speedball with everyone on crack. Waaay too fast. waaaay too reliant on how fast you can get your sights on and pull the trigger than actual teamwork. Waaaay too easy to die and know exactly where your enemy is going after your death. There's things you begin to take for granted when you switch over to a game like battlefield - destructible environments, different classes that actually PLAY differently, vehicles, large maps, more team play... I could go on. The game feels like it caters to hormonal teenage boys.

    This game is very easy to hate. Very easy to laugh at. And for very good reason. I didn't buy the last 6 call of duty games before this and I will never buy another one after. I've learned my lesson.

I legit forgot the ending, but i dont need to know the ending to know what its gonna be. Its gonna end all like your the best and no one else could have done what you did. the "campaign" feels more like im watching a on rails movie then a actual game. The amount of explosions in the "campaign" felt like i was watching a battle unfold in fallout 4 if they all had fat mans.

    ZOMBIES.

    Zombies is actually really underrated. I mean, i know it do'sent really have anything special about it but if you think about it, neither did nacth dier untoten from WAW, same with verrtuck, shi no numa, and kino der toten. people always say those are the best maps ever, but they only say that because its treyarch. Like the "campaign" theirs a lot of explosions . Im actually okay with it because its made up so i dont give a **** now lets go into the biggest part of the game yet, the reason you bought this ****ing game.

That being said, I spent far too much time on the beach dying, so much so, that I nearly gave up and quit. I didn't, and as I got better I started to enjoy it more and more. But, at the end of the day this is a mediocre game, and I wouldn't spend new game money on it.
    What's to like? The graphics are intense....maybe some of the best I've seen. I haven't got a lot of experience, but jumping from bioshock infinite to this is incredible. I also enjoyed the game play. Like I said, once I got better, I got in to it. I loved the sighting with scopes, I got immersed in the play and enjoyed the excursions from regular play style (there is a fighter plane mission that is kind of cool).
    What's to hate? Far too much. First and foremost, it's short. So much so that I felt cheated...just as I was getting in to it, it ended. Second, waaaaay too much video. I've never been fond of these sequences and my god, the end of the game is a half hour of video. wtf? I also really hated how much I would die, and then have to redo some portion of the game. There are also some crappy sequences where you have no idea what you need to do to succeed; weird sequences where you finally figure out you have to move your right stick to center and hit x, etc. etc. There's also an insane mission you don't realize you have to do in stealth mode to beat, so you spend an hour fighting through going wth?
    All in all, I think I liked playing it, but if I knew ahead of time I would've gotten dishonored instead.

Thankfully Call of Duty: WWII brings that certain something back to the series and I must admit that this is one of the best Call of Duty’s I’ve played in years. The boots on ground combat is back and it’s addictive as ever and the main reason for that is because it’s exciting throughout. Another reason why it’s so enjoyable is because of the improved gunplay, which I found to be more precise and responsive than it was in Infinite Warfare. Without a doubt this game is packed to the brim with content and they’ve even included some new modes, which by the way are brilliant and a great addition to the franchise. Multiplayer also has a lot of content and once again it’s addictive as ever, and the best thing is that I’ve suffered with no problems online to date. If you’re not a massive fan of multiplayer then you will be pleased to know that the game offers you a very good single player campaign. The campaign has been done really well and it really gives you an insight into some of the events that happened in WWII, I will say however that I would have liked a bit more variety when it came to the missions. The presentation side of the game is absolutely fantastic. Visually the game looks superb the whole way through and the voice actors really made the game even more of an immersive and enjoyable experience. At the end of the day fans of the Call of Duty series will be extremely pleased with the new addition to the genre, and I must applaud the amount of effort that has gone into Call of Duty: WWII. Without a doubt it’s clear that the developers/publishers have listened to fans of the series and tried to improve every key area, and the best thing is that these improvements have created one of the best Call of Duty game’s in years. Call of Duty: WWII has in my opinion made the series relevant again and I can’t recommend it enough. Expand

If they wanted this game to be a close to realistic as they set out to do, they would stop this completely. No where in the history of wars are there snipers that run and gun.

    Remember the first 27 times they made this exact same game? Yeah. Those were great. Shooting people in the face and watching their blood squirt across the screen almost never gets old. But then it does. And now it is. Yawn.

    The campaign is fairly engaging, but where the game really falls flat is the multiplayer.

Maybe those reviewers played a different, maybe beta, version, that actually had more working parts. Maybe this is their second or third first person shooter, and this game was actually better than the other one or two. It's possible. They could be the designers of the game, or their friends and relatives. Or they are idiots. This game is not better than 90% of the other CoD games, or Tribes, Doom, Halo, Battlefield (except Battlefield Hardline), and the list goes on. Give this game a seven, maybe... The 1's and 2's are a bit harsh. 8's, 9's, 10's... Those reviewers just look silly to those of us with any experience in the genre. My guess is that most of the negative reviews have come from folks like myself that have been playing first person shooters for many years and this one does not rate in the top 30. These dweebs act like we are complaining about the game because we are getting killed? Is it the other way around and those giving this game a high score are thrilled because they are performing much better now that the game is so skewed?

    Play is smooth. A few maps support whatever play style you prefer. Others strongly benefit either the submachinegunner, or the sniper. The sldkf;lkjad;lifj!@#%^@#$^& sniper rifle. Who is the %*^% jerk that decided sniper rifles should, yet again, kill people with one quick trigger shot to the knee while multiple rounds from assault rifles or light machine guns is insufficient to kill. End of mission kill cams showing the lame sniper pow pow powing 3 in a row while other players have to EARN it. Really, the game play programming seems to be pretty good, but THE GAME isn't so hot. The maps aren't great. It's like Hexen and the other hundreds of first person shooters did not come before this game was made. I just don't want to be a sprinting sub machine gun user, or a sniper. I want to whine about not being able to play the game the way I want to play it. Oh yeah, a bunch of stuff out side of battle does not work. The wander around and get stuff area is silly. Arg. I prepaid for the special edition with season passes... A lame Call of Duty???? Some better than others throughout franchise history, but this is a new low. Battlefield Hardline was lame too, and I prepaid for that one. Lesson learned. These franchises are just waiting for me to prepay and then whamo, mediocrity. Every other day there seems to be an update to this game. Maybe a big game company should buy the franchise. One that will be ready for launch. Gosh I am irritated. I have probably played a thousand computer and console games since 1980. This isn't one of the worst games I have played, but the disappointment level makes it pretty frustrating.

When me and my friends leave a game everyone but the party leader gets put in limbo where all we can see is a black screen and we have to get kicked from the party and re invited to the party for it to fix. Until they fix it there are certain guns that are way to overpowered and if anyone uses it that get tons of kills.

    The good:
    - Fun, enjoyable and rather a historically focused story.
    - Nazi zombies is by far the most enjoyable aspect of the game.
    - New War mode is great, the only good maps if you ask me.
    The bad:
    - Awful multiplayer maps
    - Lousy scorestreaks
    - Bad weapon balancing
    - Some features not finished on launch (Paintjob for example). Rushed game.

The only thing I was really disappointed about was the game seemed to avoid anything to do with Nazi's or death camps*. While I understand the lack of this content I feel like they should have made an edit for the countries where this was not permissible. Unfortunately for the first three days after purchasing this game I was unable to play the game online at all due to server problems. This was my first clue of many that the game, while playable in its current state, could have used several more months of fine-tuning. Before I dive back into the problems I want to talk about another positive of the game which was the zombie game mode. While the map is rather small compared to many recent zombie maps it is a rather fun experience. There are many hidden easter eggs to discover including the main one being summoning the zombie boss which required team-work and coordination between your online party. I am continually dissapointed every time a new call of duty is released with zombies and it doesnt include a search paramater option. I am sick of backing out of groups a hundred times over again trying to find three other people with microphones. Searching for people close to your level and with a mic would make the game mode a million times better. As you level up in zombies you unlock new weapon attachments, loot boxes with skins or one time use consumables, and raven tokens which are used to as a class system to include minor perk upgrades. The only problem is aside from the hold three gun perk that you start with most of these perks that you can unlock are relatively useless. Now to dive into arguably the worst and most unpolished part of the game, the online multiplayer. Aside from connection problems that seem to be plaguing most of the gaming population right now it doesnt take long playing and leveling up in multiplayer to notice how unfinished this part of the game is. I wont go into detail but if you really want to read the long, laundry list of problems you can find it on the ww2 reddit page. I will however mention a few of the problems quickly. The main one being the longer load times after and before you get into games due to the hq having to constantly reload, which is rather pointless because in its current state no other players load into the hq which at one time was meant to be a shared hq between people to marvel at what other people were getting in their loot boxes. This leads me to my next point which is how poorly thought our this games entire loot system is. Lets talk about the fact that they have seemingly hundreds of different pistol grips which is entirely pointless because you cant even see the pistol grips in game, and when you have camo on the pistol it completely covers them up. Also the multiplayer mechanics are grossly misbalanced with people able to quick scope with no need to aim, people drop-shotting way too fast (going prone needs to be slowed alot), terrible gun balance with only a few guns being viable competitively. The multiplayer is by far the worst part of this game and you can tell they ran out of time and shoved it out the door before they should have. As it is now I would recommend this game as a rental and if they add some polish and the game drops in price it could very well be worth a buy in the future. People, however, need to stop supporting these game companies releasing. unfinished products Expand

    Everyone is raving about war, I can understand why people like it but for me dying 10+ times is infuriating and pointless, if I wanted to play a purely objective game mode is play battlefield who actually have a player base who will play the objective.
    Zombies is good at first but very very boring and too complicated to play more than a few times for me.
    Campaign was pretty good to be honest.
    The multiplayer is the core to this game and I hate the new class system it's restrictive and honestly ruined the game for me, I prestiges all classes just for the weapons then changed them all to mountain. Spawns are terrible, maps are terrible and theres 9?! There's literally 3 decent maps. Weapons are all about the assault rifles of the ppsh.
    Quickscoping is here.
    I'll say no more it's not worth the time to structure this review knowing about 5 people will read, but if you are reading and a real a big cod fan, I was 38th in Europe on WaW and It will take alot of convincing for me to buy the next game. Traded in.

    Quick summary: The game is a bug-ridden disaster almost 2 weeks after launch. HQ, one of the main selling points of the game, is still disabled. The lobbies are very unstable, and you will constantly have to back out and close the app when your party gets separated. Zombies is fun if that is your thing, as it is very similar to past installments. And lastly campaign, is very forgettable.Quick summary: The game is a bug-ridden disaster almost 2 weeks after launch. HQ, one of the main selling points of the game, is still disabled.

The epic scale and theater of war in WW2 is nowhere found as there are essentially 4 main characters that you don't care about. You go from shooting gallery to shooting gallery only for it to just.... end.

    I was gonna write a more in depth review, but I dont think the game deserves it in its current state. Multiplayer is in shambles. As I mentioned above, playing with friends is broken. Lag compensation is broken, making firefights just a dice roll more than anything else. Only 9 maps?! The game in general is lacking any sort of polish or thought and the whole came gives off a strong vibe that it was rushed out the door. I don't believe for a second that this is what 3 years of development produces. Between the broken UI, and the broken netcode, this game is an insult to any CoD multiplayer fan. Just wait till Black Friday, or wait another few months until patches come out to make this even remotely resemble a $60 game.

And why when I pick a gun up that a guy was using that had a suppressor on it does it magically not have the suppressor anymore? You can no longer have stock and ghost on the same class because of this archaic system. To further that, why is stock a perk and not a gun attachment...There are so so many things wrong with this game. No dedicated servers, terrible connectivity, slowest gameplays ever.

Real hard to shoot people who appear right in front of you unkess you have suoer human reflexes.

    The only reason this is getting such a high score is because Activision PAID for the good reviews. Notice the majority of actual user reviews are negative but the review site reviews are positive? Yeah.....goes to show you how unreliable paid reviewers are. Don't listen to that stuff......this game is a 1, at best...and thats just because I like the timeline and the guns...

    This is by far the worst game to ever be released under the "Call of Duty" franchise. The actual gameplay itself is not terrible, but all of the bugs, glitches, and errors make it horrendous.

They had a beta for this game, but clearly didn't try to use the information gathered from it to better the game, because it has most of the exact same problems. At launch, no one in America could play for the first 2 hours. Now a week later, they've released their first "patch" for the game, and screwed that up as well. Now the game has major lag and hit detection problems. I have spent most of my day trying to complete a special order, of winning one of each game type in multiplayer, but it has not gone well. Every single time I win a game of Capture the Flag, it kicks me out and doesn't award me with any EXP or the win towards the order. Though, if I lose the game, it will count. Sledgehammer Games should be ashamed to release this slop, and Activision should be embarrassed to release this under their moniker. I, for one, will never be purchasing another Call of Duty game if they can't even keep their own standards high. Expand

    Call of Duty, oh boy. This series has been around for nearly 15 years, and year after year they release a new instalment that sells solely based on hype. I was idiotic enough to buy into the hype because of my love for COD 2 and WAW, and now I obviously regret it.

    Basically, this COD was meant to be a nod to the games of old with a bs tagline of "Get your old squad back together". Well,

    Basically, this COD was meant to be a nod to the games of old with a bs tagline of "Get your old squad back together". Well, I did, and while some think the game is passable and others would give this a zero, 4 is where I stand. I have played the series since Call of Duty 2 on Xbox 360 back in 05, and I believe I have just grown tired of the same formula, on top of the fact that this game is absolutely horrible. My review is more focused on the Multiplayer as it is the primary focus.

    Positives:

    - Campaign is great looking and very cinematic
    - WWII setting is nice to see again in both SP & MP
    - Headquarters setup for pre-game is a unique touch and offers some variety
    - Boots on the ground, no robots and jetpacks

    Negatives (Primarily in MP):

    - Cinematic campaigns do not equal fun
    - Nothing we have not seen before
    - Abysmal map design (3 main lanes, funnelled into the middle)
    - SMG focused CQB combat, not much variety for battles
    - No bolt action rifles without a scope? In a WWII based game? Is this a joke? (For Multiplayer)
    - Micro-transaction push with useless loot crates (near ubiquitous these days)
    - Forget about team focused gameplay (war mode is not as good as promised)
    - Spawning and spawn zones don't flip as much as they should, too easy to trap or be trapped
    - Forced perk system (divisions), does not allow you to mix and match perks to your liking as easily as previous entries

    Not even gonna bother commenting on nazi zombies since it really does not change much and is usually pretty consistent in its ability to create chaotic fun and endless nights with friends. I am sure it does its job properly as its standalone mode, which I would technically deem a positive.

    This game feels way too much like a re-skin, and less like a new and innovative AAA product (Yes, I know I should never expect COD and innovation to be mentioned in the same sentence nowadays). Alongside this, I have to mention that the servers for this game have been terrible as well, I did not want to mention it in the negatives as I am sure that it will be corrected soon.

    Also, for the love of gaming, I do not know why Swastikas have to be removed from a game that is being released outside of Germany? It was part of WWII, gaming is not a place for sensitive SJWs to modify every aspect to their liking. The soldier configurations and officers fall in this category as well. A black woman on the front lines for the reich? Stop. Historical accuracy is important for these types of games IMO, and as great looking as the campaign may be, why are german soldiers wielding PPSH (Russian) sub machine guns in D-Day bunkers? The social justice aspect has become so intrusive in video games that its sad. I do not care who it offends, this has to be part of the review. If you want a fake and dishonest review about these games, go watch your favourite YouTuber or check your favourite game review site who both get paid to say good things about the product. AAA products are dying in the quality department with things like this and micro-transactions and nobody says or does anything about it.

    Overall, you just cannot find enough positive things in this game to truly override the negatives, and for that reason, I end up giving this game a 4 or 40%, because while it is nice to see a return to boots on the ground and a WWII setting, the abysmal map design, exceptionally poor balancing, toxic community, lack of weaponry, and bad game mechanics just make this game a disaster that is relying on hype for a return to the old style of COD many of us miss. Take a pass on this one, those days are long gone.

Has the franchise been bought enough to vitiate the original game into a political football for people who can't help themselves? Are you that bloody minded to put your politics supraordinate to the heart of a game, which is gaming, to the point where the game sucks? Here we also have historical rewriting to be more PC across the board. The Nazis made no bones about enslaving and killing off the Untermensch, with nazi peasant soldiers each allocated 120 hectares of the conquered lands in Generalplanost. Their blood and soul ethos. You won't see it here in this fanciful PC schmaltz hoping for end user$$$. Equally, the Jewish Bolsheviks fomented civil discord in a hellish way in Germany and not only Germany. The Germans had their strong views and so did the Jewish Marxists of the Soviet Nomenklatura and Comintern. Full on war was the outcome. As for us, good gaming was always irreverent and above all about gaming, amplifying these historical absurdities, not cucking, no kowtow. Amplifying! It needs to said three times. Games are about gaming, ie competition, which is totally nonPC! This is another example of sequels in the ever more oppressive framework we all live in. What a shame. Looks like the only highlights this year are racing games. Hope RDR doesn't take a turn to the left, but not holding my breath after "that" scene in zombie mode. Too much time spent on perfecting PC and much less on the game itself, as per other reviews. So sad as I was really looking forward to this, after playing the first COD and all of them before the rubbish futurist ones. Expand

    This game has okay campaign, has okay multiplayer, has okay zombies. They have included micro- transactions which are cosmetic only but this will change soon. Conclusion overall this game is okay, would I pay full price? Definitely not because this game will soon be a pay to win game with Activision ripping us off even more.

    I would say this is the best COD campaign to date, but unfortunately that's a rather low bar set by a series who clearly focuses on the multiplayer aspect. I had fun with the story which took me around 9 hours to play through on regular difficulty. I'm a little surprised to see that such a huge franchise not only fails to push the envelope on graphics/emersion/sound, but doesn't even seem to meet the expectations set by games like Battlefield 1 and Ghost Recon Wild Lands. Granted BF1 may have been ahead of it's time, but it's also a year old, so my biggest gripe with WW2 is the unmistakably inferior gameplay. Most notably, the first person movement, it still glides along way too fast and sporadic very unlike true POV movement should be. Cut scenes where normally a game gets to flex it's graphic muscles, still lack. There is definite mismatching of mouth/words, choppy movement and "game" feel. But it's a review and I'm mostly pointing out the flaws, I did enjoy it and don't regret $60 purchase.

    Multiplayer- Come one guys, there must be SOMETHING you can do to fix this. Unless you are a habitual COD or other FPS multiplayer gamer, the multiplayer is simply no fun, and actually quite irritating. I don't blame the kids who are scoring 30-2 in team deathmatch, I DO blame the creators for not correcting the problem. There are definitely ways to create lobby's either manual or auto where players can play with similar K:D ranges as themselves. I don't want an "I suck" lobby, I don't mind scoring low, I just want to play and have some fun after $60 and only a 9 hour campaign. I've logged about 3 hours of online play at the time of this review, and in team deathmatch/domination play I'm averaging about a 5:20. Simply no fun and pisses off the rest of the team. If I could rate the story and multiplayer separate I'd say 7 and 1. Even the war mode, which is nice they don't show my huge amount of deaths, the gameplay isn't much more fun since I'm still being shot in the face every 6 steps.
    I'm not sure what was different, but while BF1's campaign was a better single player experience, they also seemed to write a multiplayer experience that was accommodating for the "Dad" players like me. I think after a few days I was close to a 1:2 average and 1:1 on good days, not a selfish goal for online play. It probably has to do with the COD players adapting to really what is only new maps/guns per release, and right back to praying on guys like me haha.

    Thanks for reading, please check out my profile for other "Dad" reviews.

    After the sophistication of previous games the recent WW2 is a significant disappointment. Restricted playing field, less than believable characters and generally second rate graphics. Also, way too short for the price.

    Call of duty WWII is the blandest title in the series to date. While the game is competently made (apart of the horrendous server issues and some absolutely terrible maps) it just feels like a mash of other cod games without standing on it's own.

    The multiplayer hasn't changed much. Apart from headquarters and the war mode, there is nothing here that's hasn't been done in previous cods
    Call of duty WWII is the blandest title in the series to date. While the game is competently made (apart of the horrendous server issues and some absolutely terrible maps) it just feels like a mash of other cod games without standing on it's own.

    The multiplayer hasn't changed much. Apart from headquarters and the war mode, there is nothing here that's hasn't been done in previous cods and it in fact loses some modes like ground war and gun game. everything that the game does well, feels like something black ops 2 did before it and better like the camo challenges (which were way to hard in AW), the emblem editor and the general fast pace of the gameplay.
    the new divisions are basically just a load of perks divided into groups while having one separate called basic training. technically you can have 5 perks at once, but not mix them and you can't switch them out with attachments or grenades which really limits the creativity found in the "pick 10" system
    The maps themselves are mostly close quarters so shotguns are rampant. There are quite a few maps that aren't very good. USS Texas is one of the worst maps i've ever played in a cod game. It's almost as bad as stonehaven from ghosts. There are only 9 maps (not including the 3 war maps) where only around 3-4 of them are any good.

    As far as the campaign goes, it's the same story there. You get exactly what you expect, without anything really surprising happening. The only real difference is that it has gone back to the health pack system from the very first cod and its expansion. You can either find them around the levels or kill enough Nazis for your teammate to give you one. It doesn't really make that much of a difference since the game is fairly easy to get trough, even on veteran difficulty.
    It does have one or two missions that are pretty nice, like the stealth mission in France, but overall the eastern front setting already has been done to death in previous cod games or equivalent.

    As for the zombie mode... it's alright. It is way easier compared to the say the black ops 2 ZM. I am not the biggest zombies player out there, so i don't know how it stacks up with all the Easter egg things and what not, But for the casual zombie player, it's alright.

    WWII is by no means a bad game. Compared to some of the previous games like cod ghosts, it really is good. But ghosts actually tried something different, With the bigger maps and faster time to kill to make team-play more viable. It failed miserably but at least it tried. This game just feels like a less polished black ops 2 with worse maps and a different setting. If you haven't played a cod game in the last 4 years and just want a "boots on the ground" cod, and don't really care that it hasn't changed much then this is for you. For anyone burned out by the series by now, it probably won't change your opinion of it.

    This game has everything wrong with it that Call of Duty has had wrong with it since 2007, the difference is, it was acceptable then, but technology has moved on.

    The story is targeted entirely at the American audience and as a result entirely re-writes history and is grossly inaccurate almost to the point of being offensive - certainly so to anyone that actually fought in the war, what few of them there are left in the world for Activision to massively insult by writing their contribution out of history.

    Thus even outside of the non-working servers, the dated gameplay, the abysmal AI, the obscure fluctuations in difficulty, there is a fundamental problem in that even the single player storyline just isn't engaging simply because it's a load of functional nonsense passed off as fact.

    Activision could learn a lot from EA, whilst Battlefield 1 wasn't overly historically accurate in terms of weaponry, it's focus on the disparate storylines across the War was incredibly respectful to the countless sides who fought in it, which is far better than this insult that Activision have produced.

    This is a game from a different era, outdated technology, outdated gameplay, and outdated American exceptionalism that's well past it's sell-by date.

    This is another fun, fleeting, exceptionally good-looking Call of Duty game, but its World War II theme doesn't add much besides bringing some of its mechanics back down to Earth.
